It looks like a ship at the bottom of the ocean. Lovely.

It's the old French tanker washed shore in mid-1960's and now almost gone. I still keep its image in my memory and some old photographs. Thank you!

They grow them big where you live. They look like small airplanes. A very creative image. Wonderful abstraction.

They're used for postal services and even transporting small things. Thank you, Mark!

Floating around the docks in the heat. Very atmospheric!

when you first posted this, I too saw the boat, which you spoke about in your replies (to the comments). And your wonderful freehand, jazzy, quick doodles definitely look like dragonflies (where you got the title from?) Dragonflies definitely love water, so they would fit here...
This is what I'm talking about---how you transform photography rather than just 'filter' it. You captured the strong feeling of the mass and animal essence of a big tanker---it sits, in your treatment, like a big slumbering bear. And when one looks at this full-size---it holds up in both full and smaller size---we can see your color combinations, your rapid splotchy brushwork (very vivid and active---like Abstract Expressionists), and your wonderful freely painted background, with the brush bristles leaving their mark everywhere. You're not afraid of the visceral feel of a painting here. And the dragonflies add a whimsy and imaginative touch, as they lighten up the mass of this tanker-beast, and give the picture flight. Terrific.
